Will this be a good shedding comb for my medium coat German Shepherd?

I think it depends on how thick your German Shepherd's fur is. My Chow Chow mix has a medium coat, but very thick fur, so this works perfectly for her. It gets the bottom coat up and detangled and works better than the "furminator" at shedding her. I use the thick spaced side to detangle, and the thin spaced side to de-shed. Hope that helps!

Yes. I have a St. Bernard and a German shepherd. I also have long hair and shed a lot. The roomba has been an awesome investment for my sanity!

I believe it's a good tool for a golden. Its cheaper than a furminator works just as well. My border/st. Bernard mix gets brushed frequently and it gets to the undercoat.

I do not recommend the fine comb for a chow as I have had several chows in my time and they need a much larger tooth. The comb is so sturdy and works well with fine hair such as all my cats and would probably work well with fine hair on a dog. Hope this helps.

Hi. I don't anything about your breed of dog. A friend who is a dog groomer said just about any comb would work. Just find one that you feel comfortable with. She said that the Mars # 6 blade would not be right.

I have a 60lb Husky, the double for me. If your dog has an undercoat then double for sure. I have a deeper comb and I don't use it, I use this instead, and the slicker brush.

Call a dog groomer and ask. It varies by breed, because type of hair varies by breed. They even let me try two at the grooming place, and I'm getting this one for my mini Australian Shepherd.

I have a wire hared fox terrier myself and do not have any experience with collies. However, I think that while thinning an undercoat it will also shorten the main coat as well. At least that's what this tool does to my dog's hair. Probably not the look you are going after. There must be other brushes that can primarily thin an undercoat alone. Perhaps a designated undercoat rake would be more suitable for your dog: http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-W6110-Grooming-Undercoat-Rotating/dp/B0002DIRYG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1373408414&sr=1-1&keywords=undercoat+rake

I ordered the same brush for my long-haired german shepherd. It was a joke. I gave it my friend who has a chihuahua. They price it so it's more of an inconvenience to return it, so we all end up keeping it. I love their undercoat brush and they are actually accurate in that description.

i believe they would. my dog is a big old english sheep dog,lots of hair and they do a very nice job. i'm still a beginner with a lot to learn. worse comes to worse wahl claims to replace them with another model if you are unhappy. i do think you will be very pleased with your results. good luck!

I have not tried the comb on a dog. I think it would depend on how dense your dogs coat is. With that said if I needed to use a lice/ nit comb on my Sheltie, I dont think I'd pick this one. My dogs coat is too dense. The comb leaves very little space between its teeth. I would go to the pets stores first to see what they recommend. Or do a google search. Good luck with your dog.

I think this machine was just designed for light grooming. You should prob. Get something heavy duty in the same brand.

Thank you all for your answers. I ended up ordering one so hopefully my boxer will enjoy the experience of being groomed and the brush gets out lots of shedding fur. Thanks again for all the prompt and helpful responses!

it would depend on the dog/cat. We have a min schnauzer and they don't shed much. We have no problem with pet hair with the comforter

This particular model that I bought was specifically ordered for a long haired dog (my German Shepherd). I ALSO have a Jack Russell terrier, and have tried the undercoat rake on him, but the teeth are too long. That said, I would imagine that Oster has a model specifically desigend for short hair dogs like a Jack Russell. I have not sought out one of those because my Jack Russell does not shed nearly as bad as the German Shepherd. So I would suggest you search for the short haired version of this model. From my experience It is an excellent de-shedding tool and will not make your pet constantly scratch himself....a common problem with the competitive "Furminator" which tends to scratch the pet's skin.

It's made to get fur off a dog so if you're asking will it take fur off a non-shedding dog, no, you'll need a razor or clippers for that. If you're asking if you can still use it as a massage/feel good brush/bath time scrubber thing, then yes, it'll work great.

At first it didnt shed much. But once it became tangled it shedded a lot more... but that is probably because I was using a regular comb and not a detangling comb.
